 Every cyclist I have ever met on the road acts like they own every inch of the road & that they can disobey the laws, rules, & common decency of the road. In short they are ill-mannered assholes who deserve to get hit by cars.My first encounter the cyclist was in the middle of the lane doing about 15 mph where the speed limit was 35 mph. My dad had his turn signal on when the ass looked back. My dad tried to pass the jackass intentionally changed lanes forcing my dad to either hit him or run off the road. The car was totaled and the piece of shit started laughing.Read in the news the next day the dill hole pissed off the wrong guy pulling some kind of shit, he didn't live to see the next day.Hobby riders who ride in parks are fine. They are decent people.

Sorry, but that "Every cyclist I have ever met..." is bullshit. I'd be willing to bet that they are the minority of the cyclists you've encountered. They're just that fucking terrible that they wash your opinion of everyone else. Trust me, I've been there as a cyclist myself.

Course, many, many drivers are entitled idiots, who don't know the rules of the road, or make their own shit up as it suits them. Had one asshole yelling at me because I took the lane in the city. Sad part was, I was out-accelerating the car in the lane beside me; I was not holding up traffic in any way, shape or form. But because I was a cyclist, (who has the right to take the lane where I am), I had to be slowing him down, regardless of the facts.

I will never deny that there is a section of cyclists who do ignore the rules of the road, and are fucking idiots who do deserve it when they "get hit" for being utter arrogant assholes. I take offense however when blanket statements get thrown about. Yes, I have broken a few rules of the road when riding myself; treating stop signs as yield signs and red lights as stop signs, however only in the dead of night when there is no traffic (And red light only because they can never detect a bicycle it seems).
